World Entrepreneurs

Assalamualaikum. Well, we have identified successful local entrepreneurs. How about we get to know international entrepreneurs? Well, this world is full of entrepreneurs. Just like the previous post, I am going to talk about 1 entrepreneur only and the rest of them will be shown in the form of videos. Now, without further ado, let's go ahead and get to know the ever popular, successful, crowned The Richest Man On Earth, the one and only, Bill Gates, the inventor of Microsoft.

Schiff (n.d.) claimed, "Gates took Microsoft to the top by executing brilliantly, and always in service of other people's visions, never his own. By parlaying his way through a series of ever-bigger business deals--all with fairly ordinary products--he went from zero to billions in less than a decade,". [y]

For your information, "First Gates positioned Microsoft as the junior partner to the pioneering MITS, and then served in a similar junior-partner role with industry leader Digital Research. The little-known version of Microsoft's marriage to IBM is that Gates started out as an ardent matchmaker between Digital Research and IBM. Gates eagerly tried to bring the two giants together, content to be the second-class software in a marriage between big players. But when Digital Research and IBM couldn't tie the knot, Gates stepped into the void, fearing that IBM might quit the PC project altogether. No matter what, Gates respected IBM's potential power in the PC market and wanted to be a part of it. The irony is that by the time Gates had gone on to become the richest man on earth, the first two of his "senior" partners were long gone and forgotten. The third, IBM, stopped making PCs in 2004," (Schiff, n.d.).

Looking at this picture makes me think that people nowadays age more quickly than the older generation. This is a picture of Bill Gates when he was young. In his 60s, Bill Gates still look like this! Only with some wrinkles here and there. But, still. He still looks quite the same!

Now, let's take a look at world entrepreneurs to get inspired!
